"Christianity and Judaism have had a lot more time to get through their growing pains, " Rat usually says that about Judaism. Our fundies have mellowed to throwing chairs and stones.

of course some of the terrorist recruits are just sick people in general, maybe has nothing to do with religion... criminals whose life is in the shitter or just losers in general, and instead of committing a simple suicide they think much better to take out some people who are actually enjoying their lives... we of course have our own sick people here who like to go shoot up a movie theatre or school about every 2 weeks or so

Once again this seems to always come up how we are supposed to label these terrorists In the debate last night the moderator asked the question to Hillary DICKERSON: Secretary Clinton, you mentioned radical jihadists. Marco Rubio, also running for president, said that this attack showed and the attack in Paris showed that we are at war with radical Islam. Do you agree with that characterization, radical Islam? As if you don't immediately label it "radical Islam" as opposed to "radical jihadists" that you are somehow weak... such idiocy washingtonpost.com Not surprisingly, Republicans pounced. Nearly all the candidates tweeted outsome version of “Yes Hillary, we’re at war with radical Islam!” Conservative media outlets today are full of articles with headlines like “ Clinton Refuses to Say the U.S. Is at War With Radical Islam” and “ Hillary Clinton won’t describe Islamic State as ‘Islamic.'” And it wasn’t just Republicans themselves. In some quarters of the media, the candidates’ failure to say we’re at war with “radical Islam” is being treated as some kind of gaffe, supposedly because Republicans have “ crisper answers.”
